3. No caches
4. No motorized transport or hitch-hiking, EXCEPT for travel to hospital/medical care
5. Gear - Nothing required, nothing prohibited
The following are allowed, but not encouraged. Please use sparingly.
6. Unplanned support from other AZT racers is OK
7. Trail magic OK - but please, no begging
8. Mailing stuff ahead to Post Offices is OK
9. Using public AZT water caches is OK - but no personal or race specific caches, please
For the full Arizona Trail Race the following rule is
STRICTLY ENFORCED:
* You must carry your disassembled bike from the south to north rim
of the Grand Canyon. Absolutely no riding or pushing (rolling) of the
bicycle is allowed.
If you are caught rolling or pushing your bike you will be disqualified
and banned from all future events. No exceptions.
State Trust Land Permit Required: The AZTR 750 route crosses State Trust
Land (off the AZT itself) which means all riders must purchase a recreational
permit. They are available at the link below, and can be purchased / delivered
online. Please note that AZT 300 riders do not need a permit, since there is an
easement for the AZT wherever it travels on State Trust Land. The 750 requires
a permit due to using roads and trails that are not AZT, but on state trust.
